Thanksgiving

I love thanksgiving. I love the family time, the delicious food, and the feelings of gratitude. The chance to be thankful.

There are two parts to this post:

1- What we did. I'm going to run this out. (literally)

I woke up early, chris took me to zumba, zumba kicked my trash, my sisters didn't show, chris called his family was ready to play rock band, he came back to get me, we got ready for the day, we played rock band, tried to help set up dinner, played more rock band, went to my mom's to visit (and feel like normal thanksgiving), back to the calls for more rock band and a delicious dinner, continued rock band and family fun.

2- What I felt.

Here's the important thing-- Gratitude is the whole point of Thanksgiving. So here is my list of all the random things I remember being grateful for on Thanksgiving.

• First on the list has to be my super fabulous husband!
